The New Jersey Attorney General's Office says the local game operator overinflated game basketballs and lied about what prizes could be won by playing.
A boardwalk game operator in New Jersey has been banned for a decade for violating rules that impacted consumers, according to the New Jersey Attorney General.
According to the AG's Office, the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission banned Christine Strothers, who operated games throughout Wildwood and North Wildwood, from having Amusement Games Licenses for 10 years. Strothers was also ordered to pay a $15,500 fine for failing to comply with licensing law and regulations.
Authorities say in the spring of 2022, Strothers received licenses to operate basketball and quarterback challenge games at several stores and businesses along the boardwalk. Months later in the summer, investigators inspected each game and found several basketballs used in games were inflated more than they were supposed to be.
Some of the basketballs were inflated to more than three times the manufacturer's specified pound per square inch, officials say. MORE LOCAL HEADLINES
